My parents are about 7 hours away by car and my inlaws (FIL, MIL and BILS) live all within a mile. My brother just bought a house about 10 minutes away from my parents!
I think my inlaws lucked out with all three grown sons living close by! I hope I have at least 1 of 3 LOs near me when I get older.

Nope 
Across the country and it takes at least 2 flights. We have no one even remotely close. And no friends yet and we've been here over a year now! Sigh.

My parents and brother are about 20 minutes away. My in-laws and SIL are a little over an hour away by car. Luckily my BIL is about a 5 hour drive away so we don't have to see him too often.

I want to live with LO forever. Yup.
But no, my immediate extended family (siblings, parent) are strewn all across the world. Two complete opposite ends of the country, and abroad. My dad's family lives here, so we see them for holidays.

29 minutes from DH's parents and grandparents and 45 minutes from mine.

No, and it's making me pretty sad lately. My grandfather recently passed away and this is the first Christmas that I won't be home. My DHs family is close, but it's not the same.

No, sadly. We are about two hours away from my parents. Both of my brothers are living across the country at the moment, but one is moving back to our state in January, and the other at least wants to be back on the west coast eventually. Most of my husband's family is about 40 minutes away.

We live less than a mile away from my parents (but don't see them often) and about 25 minutes away from my in-law's. We see my in-law's every other week, but lately it's been on a weekly basis. Also my sisters all live about 20 minutes away.

20 minutes from my parents and 3-4 minutes from my sister (yay!). The rest of my siblings are 4-7 hours away.
Within 2-3 blocks of all of DH's family (mom, siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc.).

The closer set of parents is "only" a 4 hour flight away...so no.

Yes, luckily and thankfully! My parents live about 30 minutes north of us and MIL moved cross-country to be near us (DH is an only). She lives about 20-25 minutes south west of us.

Both sets of parents live within 20 minutes from us. Siblings are a bit farther, and I have one brother who lives 8 hours from us.

We're in the middle. In laws 20 mins away and my parents 40 min away. Works pretty well and it's a big reason behind why we moved where we did.

3 hours from my folks and 1.5 from the in laws. Even though in laws live half the distance away, we see them about as often as I see my family.

Both MIL and my parents live an hour away. Sadly my mother and MIL don't drive/never had their license, so...

20 minutes away from my parents and 45 minutes away from my in-laws (they are moving in a couple months though and will only be 20 minutes away as well).

No. My family is on a different continent and my husband's family is a few countries away.

Yes, thank goodness. We all live in NYC (in laws too) except my dad is on Long Island. All my siblings (except for 2 step's) are here too. We are all such NY'ers, no one could imagine living anywhere else.

We live about two hours from all of our family. It's not too bad, but there are a lot of times I wish we had family closer (like last night when my husband's car broke down).

A mile from my inlaws and 3 hours from my parents. I wish my parents were closer but my inlaws are great.
